Here we are, friends, working through the third month since Democrats were victorious in their Congressional challenges. Remember the thrills, the chills, the fantasizing of bills that'd rectify 5 years of Bushian abuses? Remember the visualization of figurative muscles with "Dems" tattooed on them, flexing in the face of power-fucked Republicans, positively limp with pleasure after 5 years of mutual cocksucking and red-white-'n-blue orgasms smearing each others' faces?
Yeah, I really don't remember either.
It's hard to remember, when the Democratic establishment is just that - an establishment, an institution, a hard-and-fast thing nailed into place with lobbyists' gold-tipped nails and deadbolts on loan from the Pentagon. Maybe the jettisoning of a backbone - the tragedy of that - is that you cannot ever get it back...maybe you can't resinsert it, no matter how much liquid cement you use. Nancy Pelosi got me thinking on this track in the last couple of days, with her revolting "Daddy, make him stop!" plea to Bush regarding the grand dragon of American politics, Dick Cheney.
Read here. Ms. Pelosi went waaaaaaahing to her abusive, neglectful, dry-alcoholic daddy about what Uncle Dick was saying about her and her friends. What fucking imbecility. The only thing more exquisitely wretched would've been if Ms. Pelosi had text-messaged her pain to Bush (although, hey, that may've actually happened, come to think of it). My God in frigging heaven, this is what we dreamed of when we dreamed of Dems in power? Impotence of the highest order? This is what a much-touted first female Speaker is capable of? Hissy fits and running to daddy for what mean ol' Uncle Dick did?
Please. Ms. Pelosi, the response to Dick Cheney implying your party is allied with al-Qaeda is so motherfucking easy even I can figure it out. Are you ready, Nancy? Ready for the pearls I'm a-gonna drop? Ready for the against-all-odds reinsertion of the Democratic backbone? Here it is...get ready...it's gonna blow your mind...you won't see it coming...
"Go fuck yourself, Dick Cheney!" (Thanks to SecondComing for the inspiration, and cutting to the bone.)
Get with it already, Nancy!
P.S. It would seem that critiquing Nany Pelosi is a no-no of the highest order - and, second only to that no-no, is critiquing the Dem establishmen. Let me just say that I do see Dems as the party of hope and turnaround, when it comes to America; I merely critique them because I so desperately want them to succeed, and it's infuriating when they don't sink the teeth in when the fat-with-pus neck is Dick Cheney's. But my point in this P.S. is to simply say that I respect Dems and Nancy Pelosi, and that I disrespect mealy-mouthed/weak responses to cutting Republican accusations. And the accusation that Dems are fellow-travelers with al-Qaeda should be put down like a dog with fucking rabies - once and finally, with prejudice.
